Today roof inspection is a very important procedure. It is a kind of guarantee that in the future many problems will bypass the house. It also allows you to save a lot of money, effort, and precious time. Often, very small and imperceptible damage to the ceiling of the house can cause collapses, bays and other troubles, and if they are detected and eliminated in time, then in the future the home will remain warm and comfortable. Experienced professionals will be able to identify any defect, be it rust or a smudge, calculate the cost of future work, and then eliminate it qualitatively.
As a rule, the technical inspection of the roof begins with a detailed work plan. First of all, it fixes a description of the roof structure itself, its technical and aesthetic features. Further, all building materials that were used to cover the house are entered into the plan. At the final stage, all existing damages, their degree and level of danger, as well as a list of materials that will be required to eliminate them, and the complexity of the work, are entered into the document. With such a plan, you canmuch faster to navigate the work that needs to be carried out, determine the accident rate of the roof, and also calculate the cost of its repair.
Examination of buildings, both apartment buildings and private ones, is carried out in the presence of all documents, where the building plan is certified. Most often in buildings where many families live, the overall design always remains unchanged. If we are talking about a private house or cottage, then you can often notice significant changes, both in the construction of the roof and in the design of the entire building. In this case, the roof survey cannot be carried out until the new plan is certified, otherwise it will entail administrative liability. In rare cases, private experts in this field undertake such a procedure, but the cost of their appraisal work is very high.
Most often, the roof of buildings gets damaged in the form of cracks, which can be either minimal, invisible to anyone, or gigantic. In the second case, the crack easily becomes the cause of not only leakage, but also the collapse of the entire roof structure, and this is already a serious accident. Such defects and shortcomings of the master who conduct the examination are marked with special beacons right on the spot. These tags are made of metal and have the shape of a figure eight. They remain on the roof until it is repaired.
An important aspect is that the inspection of the roof is carried out not only outside the building, but also from the inside, that is, from the attic. Rafter system, lathing, beams orconcrete floors that are located inside the structure are just as susceptible to destruction as external materials.
That is why experts inspect every millimeter of the roof of the house, fix its condition and determine the complexity and cost of the necessary work, which makes it possible to avoid major repairs not only of the roof, but of the entire residential building in the future.
